HUMANITIES NOTEBOOK

HOW TO PREPARE YOUR NOTEBOOK FOR SUBMISSION

Due to social distancing, you will not be able to submit your Humanities notebook on campus.

Instead, you will submit your notebook online through the Notebook Assignment located in the

final module in your HUM 100 or HUM 101 Canvas course. The items required for the notebook

(see directions in Canvas) must be combined into one Word (doc or docx) or PDF (pdf)

document. The documents must be in the order specified in the course directions.

There are several ways you can accomplish combining all your documents into one Word

document. Skim through and see which is the best option for you. If you don’t have Word on

your computer, create an account using your school email address and download Microsoft

Office 365 for students for free

OPTION 1: If you have not yet prepared individual forms.

Use the blank Word document provided in your HUM 101 or 100 class. It is in the last module

and is named Blank HUM Notebook SP2020.

1. Download the blank HUM Notebook document.

2. Open the document in Word. Complete the forms on your computer.

3. If you need additional pages or forms, insert a blank page in the document where it

should be located. If you need an additional form, copy the form and paste it into the

blank page.

4. Make pictures of your proof of Event attendance. Copy and paste or insert the picture into the blank pages of the document after each Event form.

Saving and submitting your document (all options):

5. Save the document to your computer in a location you will be able to it find again and

name it as HUM101 Notebook Sp2020_add your name. For example: HUM101

Notebook Sp2020_BeverlyCorley.

6. Open the Notebook Assignment, click the Submission button and click Choose File.

Locate the notebook document on your computer where you previously saved it. Select

the document and click Open. Verify that the document you want to submit is now

showing beside the Choose File button. Click Submit. You should see confirmation of

your submission.

OPTION 2: If you have all your forms saved in several different documents.

The following guide is based on Word 2016. Note that you can use the functionality to create a Word document using non-Word file types such as txt, odt, xml, pdf, or html, and even mix and match.

1. Create a new Word document to get started. I suggest you start with a blank document.

2. With the blank document open in Word, click the Insert tab.

.

3. Locate the Object icon on the toolbar. It is displayed in the second to last icon group and simply shows a blank window with a blue title bar by default.

4. Select the small arrow next to it and select "Text from File". Word displays a file browser and you may select one or multiple documents for inclusion in the existing document.

5. It is better if you add one document at a time and repeat the process for each document individually that you want to merge as it is less error-prone. Obviously, if you want to merge dozens or more documents, you may be inclined to select all of them at once to speed up the process.

6. Insert blank pages, add pictures, and duplicate forms by copying and pasting as directed in Option 1.

7. Save and submit your completed notebook as directed in Option 1.

OPTION 3: Scanning a prepared notebook

If you have completed your notebook in its entirety, you can scan your prepared notebook on a scanner or printer/scanner. (You might also try scanning using a scanning app on your mobile device if you can combine them into one document.) Organize your documents and pictures in the order specified in the notebook guidelines before you scan. Scan all documents into one file. When finished scanning, you will save your scan as a pdf document. Submit the document in Canvas in the Notebook Assignment as directed in Option 1.
